Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed, about 8 x 8 inches
  • 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1 tbsp butter + 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch black pepper
  • 1 egg beaten (egg wash)

Method
 

  1. Sauté onions in butter and oil over medium-low until soft and golden, 20–25 minutes; stir in brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook bacon until crisp, drain, and crumble. Let both cool slightly.
  3. Roll pastry to a 10 x 10-inch square, spread onions evenly, sprinkle bacon and Parmesan.
  4. Fold pastry in half, press gently, then cut into 12 strips. Twist each strip several times and place on a parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Brush with egg wash and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
